The Upstate's puppy expert
Once again, it's all about the Puppies!
When I started The Puppy Nanny LLC almost 20 years ago,
my only focus was helping the owners of new puppies.
Over the years, I started working with dogs of all ages.
I wanted to help everyone and every dog that I could.
I did a lot of work with problem dogs and realized that by giving a puppy
the right start, a lot of those adult dog problems could be avoided.
I am happy to announce that once again,
The Puppy Nanny will focus solely on puppies up to 12 months of age.
Private Puppy Training and Puppy Programs
The Puppy Nanny can now help you before you get your new puppy and stay
with you throughout your puppy’s first year. I will be there not just for housetraining, chew training, and other baby puppy problems, but I can
help you navigate through the developmental milestones that you
and your puppy will encounter in the first 12 months.
At The Puppy Nanny, you won't get a watered-down adult dog obedience class
that simply teaches your puppy to sit and come (sometimes).
Over the 25+ years I have been training, I have taken the best methods for
training and raising puppies, and put them together for you and your puppy.

Nosework
the hannah gautsch story
Getting a puppy while sheltering in place during the pandemic seemed like the perfect thing to do.
But, after three days, we realized we needed help to keep from becoming big chew toys
and to help us all learn good puppy/dog behavior.
We were worried about socializing our puppy and about finding a trainer to work with while in quarantine. Sue was recommended by a mutual friend who is passionate about animals and a
longtime participant in dog nose-work.
We set up a once a week meeting over Zoom with Sue. We talk about the challenges we’re facing with
our puppy and Sue provides training techniques appropriate to our puppy’s age and temperament.
She is able to demonstrate the techniques with her dog and then watch and correct our efforts during
our Zoom training session. Sue follows up each training session with handouts and video demonstrations
with additional information.
Sue encouraged us to keep a potty log. It seemed like a lot of work, but the log has helped us understand how to
get our puppy onto a manageable schedule. It also helped to alert us to a bladder infection and because we were able to convey so much detail, our vet moved up our emergency visit time to get our puppy the help she needed.
Our puppy still likes to chew on us, but thanks to Sue, we’ve learned how to correct through reward.
We know that our puppy will grow up to be a good dog. But, thanks to Sue and our Zoom training sessions,
we are working toward a polite 80lb dog that’s playful but does not pull on the lead, jump on people
to say hello or beg at the table.
In person training would be wonderful. But, Sue’s experience makes online training the perfect way
to becoming good puppy / dog parents!
Five years later and our boys are just as well behaved as when finished your puppy classes way back!!! Could not have asked for a better or more professional Trainer!!!
